Claims
- 1. An isolated DNA sequence coding for a plant acyl carrier protein.
- 2. The DNA sequence of claim 1 wherein said DNA sequence is obtained by screening a plant gene library with a nucleic acid probe designed from spinach acyl carrier protein-I cDNA sequence.
- 3. The DNA sequence of claim 2 wherein said probe comprises a coding sequence for at least 16 amino acids of mature spinach acyl carrier protein-I.
- 4. A DNA construct comprising a transcriptional initiation region functional in a plant cell, and a DNA sequence encoding a plant acyl carrier protein.
- 5. The DNA construct of claim 4 wherein said transcriptional initiation region provides for preferential transcription in plant seed cells.
- 6. The DNA construct of claim 5 wherein said plant seed cells are developing embryo cells.
- 7. The DNA construct of claim 5 wherein said transcriptional initiation region is a napin transcriptional initiation region.
- 8. The DNA construct of claim 4 wherein said DNA sequence is obtained by screening a plant gene library with a nucleic acid probe designed from spinach acyl carrier protein-I cDNA sequence.
